Offering ultrahigh-resolution conversion, two pro-grade preamps, and a powerful software package for vocalists, musicians, producers, and podcasters in home studios and mobile setups, the PreSonus Studio 24c desktop 2x2 USB audio/MIDI interface blends studio-quality sonic performance, liberating portability, and refreshing ease of use.
With selectable 48V phantom power and two XMAX-L solid-state mic preamps fed via XLR-1/4" combo inputs, the Studio 24c can accommodate any source from condenser microphones and active DI boxes to electric instruments and line-level mixer outputs with clarity and natural tonality. All inputs and outputs feature quality converters that can operate at resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz without sacrificing channel count or interface functionality.
Whether you monitor through speakers, headphones, or both, the Studio 24c provides equally ideal operability with its 1/4" headphone output, stereo line/monitor outs, and independent volume controls. Use the mixer knob to quickly dial in a custom monitor mix with your preferred balance of input signal and computer output. Unlike many budget interfaces, the Studio 24c sports 4-segment LED meters for both inputs and the main outs.
The 5-pin MIDI I/O jacks on the rear panel allow simple hookup with a MIDI controller, synthesizer, or groovebox, making the Studio 24c advantageous for beatmakers, keyboardists, and electronic music producers.
The bus-powered Studio 24c includes USB Type-C and USB Type-A cables for easy connectivity to your compatible macOS- or Windows-equipped computer.
